Due to the COVID-19 situation, the University Senate (Senate) meeting originally scheduled for April 13 has been replaced by a specially called Senate Council (SC) meeting. At this meeting, SC will review items that would normally have been presented to the Senate; any votes made by SC at this meeting to approve an item will be made on behalf of the Senate.
